[ If one of the two computers has a free ethernet port, you can of
course also such a dongle on the other computer. ]
BTW, those ethernet dongles can be found pretty cheaply (like $10 or
less) and they can be handy in many cases to add an ethernet port (or
several ports, even). IOW, it's a good tool to have in your box.
